SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 698,340, dated April 22, 1902.

Application met December 17, 1901. sanare. 86,220. (Nomad.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRYANTHONY VAN- DER COOK, a citizen of theUnited States, and

This invention relates to rovements in toys; and the object is to provide a toy of novel construction and so arranged as to represent a series of animals or gures passing :into an ark, fort, house, or otherbuilding, thus affording amusement as Well as being instructive.

I will describea toy embodying myinvention and then point out the novel features'in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a toy embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation thereof. Fig. 8 is a cross-section, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the manner of attaching the animals to a carrier.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a ranged in the chamber or building 1,-wl1ilev the other is arranged within the cave. One

of the rollers (hereishown as the roller 6).isV

provided with a crank-handleS.

The toy animals are preferably. connected tothe carrier, so that their orderof walking may be changed at pleasure. As here shown, each animal is supported or attached to a base 9, having lateral extensions lO to engage in openings 11, formed near the opposite edges of the carrier, as clearly indicated in Fig. 3. These lateral projections 10 are quite to yield. Y

The two parts narrow,` so that they will not interfere with the movements ofv the animals wheni rounding the rollers.Y In fact, 'these basegdevices lmaybe made of cardboard or the like," so as The operation of the device is quiteobvious from the drawings-that is`,lby.turning the crank-handle 8 the animals will be carried along and shown as passing out of the cave 2 and into the building or ark 1.

To prevent any lateral movement of the carrier, the rollers 6 and 7 are provided with shoulders 12 13 at the ends, against which the side edges of the carriermay engage. Having thus describedV my invention, I claim as newand desire' to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A toy, comprising two receptacles connected together by side pieces, rollers arranged in the receptacles, a carrier consisting of an endless band passing around said rollers and having slits arranged at intervals, the said band also passing between the side pieces, and toy figures having lateral projections for detachably connecting the figures to the carrier, the said projections being narrow to prevent interference with the movefigure, anda base-on" which the toy animal or ligure is supported, the said base having narrow lateral projections to engage in said slits or openings, whereby interference with the movements of the animals when round-V ing the rollers is prevented, substantially as specified.

3. A toy, comprising two. receptacles connected one with the other, rollers arranged in the receptacles, an endless band engaging around said rollers and having slits or openmeans for turning one of said rollers, means ings arranged at intervals near opposite edges,

for preventing lateral movement of the band on the rollers, toy figures, and longitudinallyextending supporting-bases for the gures each having narrow projections at its sides midway between its ends and adapted to removably engage the slits or openings inthe band, as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

HENRY ANTHONY VANDER COOK.
